The Dowling Booster Club will also serve our awesome barbeque dinner which will be available all day Saturday at Dowling. This is an important fund raiser for this tournament. Make plans on eating here with your team. You won't regret it!

Due to the increase in teams participating, the games held at Dowling will have an 1:50 time limit. Teams may warm-up on the practice field west of the field. The first teams playing in the day may take a formal infield. All other games will have a modified infield.
